Within the darkness of the Steel Ball, Yao Yuan closed his eyes to concentrate. A feeling deep within his soul started to overwhelm him. It had been decades since Yao Yuan became a Homo Evolutis. The HE Research Center was not the only one that had been trying to figure out the mystery of Homo Evolutis, Yao Yuan himself had been doing his personal research.

First, he was an All-rounder or an Immortal. From both Blue 6 and the space merchants' information, Immortals should have all the skills available to Homo Evolutis. However, in reality, he didn't have access to the powers of the Whisperer, Anima, or Deceiver. In fact, these three types were the rarest Homo Evolutis.

Since he didn't have access to these three powers, he didn't know how they worked. In the past few decades, he instead focused on understanding the machinations of the Perceptor, Seeker, Diviner, and Thinker. In comparison, his mastery of Diviner was the greatest. This was caused by the natural environment of the cosmos, which heightened the sense of danger within everyone.

Diviners had the strongest sixth sense among all the Homo Evolutis. Their sensory attunement to danger was already beyond scientific explanation. For example, Zhang Heng's power could even be used in gambles, and Eva's Diviner power could look into the future.

In the past few decades, Yao Yuan had found more ways to utilize the Diviner power. Of course, he wasn't a real Diviner. He might have the power, but the strength of that power was not greater than Zhang Heng's. Regardless, he still found out that his Diviner power was the strongest when his heart was quiet and collected. When he calmed down, he could feel a large space expanding around him with him as the center. Within the range of this space, his Diviner power had an increase in efficiency, and this was the greatest reward he had discovered after the decades of training.

Yao Yuan was doing exactly this right now. Suddenly, he felt something, "something" had trespassed into his space. The next second, he peeled his eyes open, and the moment he did, the moment his consciousness returned, the control system of the Steel Ball, Red Lightning, was activated and his consciousness took over the whole vehicle.

Then the Steel Ball, Red Lightning became a flash of red light surging through space. Its speed was unimaginable. It took less than a second for the machine to fly past all the Space Combat Jets and rush into the middle of the enemy ranks. Following the rain of sparks, some of the enemy spaceships started to phase out of their ECS systems. Then there was a series of explosions.

At this point, all the battleships from far away started to focus fire. A large amount of energy beams swept the battlefield. Several ten thousand alien spaceships were shot down and a majority of them were exposed. The minute their energy shields were activated, their locations were exposed.

Taking advantage of this situation was the Black Star Troopers. There were 16 fully attended units and 160 latest Space Combat Jets. They mobilized from their hiding places and moved towards the battlefield.

The beginning of the final war began thusly. The whole fleet started to head towards their designated location according to the ambush plan.

At this time, several rays of extremely bright, purple light came from the enemy fleet. The rays were thin, rather similar to the super long distance particular condensation beam used by the Steel Ball, but the brightness had reached a state where it couldn't be viewed by the naked eye. In fact, it was close to the brightness of the Energy Storm. After the light ray was shown, in its arc was a ripple in space that was observable… the collapse of space!

After the shiny purple light, all the Homo Evolutis, ship captains and battlefield observers looked at the aftermath of this light ray with awe and shock. The space where the light had just arced through was… empty! The space annihilation effect, this was the maximum effect when the space distortion technology was pushed to its limit mentioned by Professor Silewei. This was the strongest plasma weapon owned by a level 3 space civilization. Similar to how the Requiem cannon, the strongest weapon of a level 2 space civilization, could harm a level 3 space civilization, this weapon was strong enough to harm a level 4 space civilization.

The AI fleet finally showed its claws. This was the peak of a level 3 space civilization, this was the stage humanity needed to spend at least another ten thousand years to arrive at, the dream of many level 2 space civilizations, the dream of being closest to becoming a level 4 space civilization!

Yao Yuan's heart flashed with despair. At that moment, his danger sense was at the highest it had ever been. If he delayed for another 0.1 second, he would become star dust. Even though he had survived the attack, the shot still took down at least one-fifth of humanity's gravity cannon spaceships. The gravity cannon required at least three minutes to charge, more than enough time for the alien fleet to annihilate them.

Yao Yuan's both eyes were red. Now was the time to put his life on the line. He controlled the Steel Ball to approach three Space Combat Jets that were painted in dark purple. When he entered their creator's particle range, he said in a hurry, "Xiao Niao, I need your unit to cover me as I get close to the enemy's mothership. This has to be done." Then the Steel Ball disappeared with a blink.

In the next ten seconds, Yao Yuan had liaised with at least 30 Space Combat Jets. With him as the center, the unit drove into the centre of the enemy fleet. Sparks and explosions happened along the way. In just several minutes, there were only 20 plus spaceships left in this group.

Yao Yuan's heart was bleeding internally. These were Black Star troopers whose lives were lost. The fact they were cosmic adapters aside, they were comrades from the same unit. After decades of training together, they were as close as brothers. They were family forged from a bond via blood. No one felt the pain of their deaths greater than Yao Yuan, but… behind them was their home. If the sacrifice could be traded for peace, then…

"Comrades, wait for me in the other life… I'll be coming soon."

As he roared, the Steel Ball, Red Lightning rushed towards a mothership, shattering its energy shield following a shower of lightning and spark…
